U.S. Secretary of State Blinken Calls Cyprus Foreign Minister
June 1, 2021
On Tuesday, Secretary of State Tony Blinken called the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides. For those who have become accustomed to Washington, D.C. only dealing with Cyprus as the “Cyprus Problem” (i.e., the continued illegal occupation of the northern part of Cyprus since Turkey’s 1974 invasion), the tone and substance of the State Department’s statements were striking.
Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson, tweeted that “The [Republic of Cyprus] is a critical partner for regional stability, security, and prosperity.”
As if to underscore Cyprus’ role in this regional stability, the State Department’s official readout of the conversation included this: “The Secretary expressed support for the 3+1 mechanism, which includes the [Republic of Cyprus], Greece, Israel and the United States.”
